      I too have struggled with codependency, and had no clue, for years.
      I am coparenting with my ex and look back and see all the red flags I was previously blind to. I had self betrayed and abandoned, in relationships and friendships, going along to get along, to be liked, to keep peace, to feel safe...yet sometimes I'd be so resentful and lose it. Any negative expression of real feelings, was responded to poorly, invalidation, gaslighting, stonewalling.... I had a huge ah-ha, after much self work, that I had been invalidating, gas lighting myself, shutting off to myself. Whoa!
      It's a journey, but what a relief to learn to love oneself!

    That's not what a covert narc is.
    A Covert flies under the radar. But they cheat and manipulate and lie and gaslight without much remorse. Life is about them, and what they want to do, with little regard to anyone else's needs.
    A codependent is usually honest and loving and wants to be special. They will give without receiving reciprocal, with the hope eventually they will be loved in return. Two very different sets of morals.

      If when you are out of the relationship and the narc is out of your life and you are still loving and giving then you are not a covert narc.

      I was confused by conarcissist vs covert narcissist. He makes them sound one in the same. I just left my narcissist husband after 27 years, and my needs wants etc were never recognized. I was a slave to everything he wanted, and my job was to adore and please him. I have always had love and empathy for others, and love to help people to the detriment of myself. This video confuses me.

    • @ebbyc1817

      ​@@leighupton1284 This might help:
      the fact that you were wiling to be a slave, for 27 years, that you were able to adore and please, never rebelled, never claimed anything for yourself, is what a co narcissist is. The co narcissist enables the narcissist, to be a narcissist. There is no narcissist without a co narcissist, the "sun" and the "earth". The narcissist is the "sun", the co narcissist (the co dependent partner of the narcissist) is the earth. Together they form a universe, where everything is about them. About the co narcissist's "victimhood", and the narcissist's "superiority". Believe it or not, you got something out of being the victim for so many years, it validated you in some way, subconsciously. If it didn't, if it were 100% unpleasant, you would have ended the relationship much sooner (unless the narcissist held you violently, but even then, you would have been willing to risk your life to leave him or her)
      This is what is so painful, and messed up, about these relationships. That we actually seek them out, and tolerate them, willingly, because on some level it is what we want, it is what we have been programmed to want by our upbringing.
      Good luck.

    I was married for 30 years. Most of my church friends explained to me how God does not permit divorce. And I stayed.
    I prayed so much, and I asked God to save me. I became financially dependent upon him.
    The verbal, and emotional abuse was so intense, that I found myself constantly shaking and crying.
    Recently my family stepped up, and gave me a place to live and a job.
    My son and I left.

      I can’t remember where, but in the Bible Christ talks of how marriage for a lifetime is not the only way. He speaks of a man letting a woman go and other instances of being single. Christ makes it clear a single person can be just as spiritual. Churches can be bizarre in how they operate; remember the people who crucified Christ were top church members. There are great churches, but never let yourself be manipulated.

    The terminology is mixed up here. A codependent can adopt narc behaviours if all their sacrifices amount to nothing. They can retaliate by acting like the narcissist, but feel uncomfortable doing it - basically murdering their own soul. A codependent is needy, a narcissist is entitled. A codependent is capable of empathy - looking at where people's needs are and trying to meet them. A narcissist does nothing of the sort but will love bomb in a more extravagant way to keep you hooked/addicted. The occassional 'fix' to create a trauma bond. A codependent wants to be useful. A narc doesn't.

    Neglect needs to be addressed as equally harmful to children. Especially as it relates to codependency and a fear of abandonment. It’s not just overt abuse which is easy to identify with. Neglect is an enormous factor and most Gen Xers in particular had this experience growing up as our Boomer parents were raised (often) with physical abuse so the boomers believe they were great parents bc they didn’t hit their kids. They were often so disconnected and dissociated and many, many of us were neglected. Our parents had no clue where we were from sun-up until the street lights come on. We may not have been physically abused but we certainly weren’t safe.

      whatever you do, never think "you can do it all by yourself", always reach out when you need people, always. Not reaching out, or pretending they need you, when you need them, is the beginning of narcissism, the false self, feeling invulnerable. You are not. You need people. You need love. Always remember that.

      Totally understand. Hit the same realisation recently. Just remember how amazing, strong, brave, positive and forward moving it is to just realise and accept and know that you’re a co dependant with narcissistic injury. In your self reflection and admittance that’s the hardest part of the battle. Most narcissistic injury is too deep to even see it’s own injury and begin healing. So all of us should be proud and take the positives in that. Be loving to us like the love we never received properly. 🙏🏻

I had an extremely chaotic and difficult childhood., my dad is a covert narcissist, mother probably has CPTSD / borderline personality disorder. I have 3 other brothers and we are all estranged from each other and also from our parents. youngest brother is a toxic narcissist who stole a lot of money from my dad for years but my dad knew and covered up for him for a long time. It was only a few years ago at the age of 37 that i learnt about what a covert narc is, and realised that my dad is one, and that we all suffered from narcissistic abuse.... and this explained the depression, anxiety, and shame i lived with most of my life. Your explanation about narcissism is helping me understand why my youngest brother turned out the way he did. I was the blacksheep of the family, and also the cycle breaker. I have been LC for a few years now and rebuilding my life. Thanks for sharing this.

    I don't agree with that. Having been a child of an alcoholic, raised as a co-dependent, I was not a co-narcissist. I have always put others before myself. I was once told by my career coach that I had to stop helping others at my own expense. As a survivor of sexual abuse I have lived the better majority of my life in survival mode, but I have never put my needs before others and that has cost me dearly.

      I'd certainly say my parent isn't a narc, but maybe one of her parents was?
      I link my parent strongly to the fearful avoidant attachment style. Very low self-esteem, coping mechanisms that seem very rash to the open eye, addictions...

    I don't think I'm a full blow narcissist yet, but since my last relationship (abusive) I find myself sometimes thinking things that justify actions like "I know X is wrong, but I'm just trying to survive" or sometimes I minimize guilt because I think of how I totally lost myself in my last relationship so I kind of assume that I should elevate my needs because obviously everyone will just ignore them like every other time. I went from selfless to selfish and I hate it. But it's because I no longer trust anyone to meet my needs so I assume their incompetence at it from the start. Hard to love anyone when you look at them like a small child that just wrecked your kitchen because they wanted to 'help' bake. Like, "Oh thanks for the effort, now get out I'll do it myself." There is also a heighten awareness that if I allow others to help that they may expect something from me in return. I don't want to be needed anymore, I'm tired.

      When Tim says bad events occurring to you are because of secondary causes, what it means is that after Adam and Eve failed and fell from His grace, the human race and the earth were cursed. So humanity in its entirety is under a curse and doomed to fail and suffer UNLESS they accept Jesus as their Redeemer of the original curse and sin of disobedience to God. By accepting Jesus sacrifice on the Cross for the trespassing of Gods will , one becomes free of the curse and the original sin of disobedience. Still, bad things happen because we live on a fallen world.Meanwhile you plead with God for His mercy and grace while living in a fallen world and He answers your prayers. And Christian’s expect the resurrection of an inmortal glorious body and New heaven and earth , according to the Scriptures.

      I am a Christian, but I also find Tim's view of God really bad. I think the idea that we're either completely free or God is puppeteering us as a false dichotomy. We see all over scripture God being in control of the situation, while still holding people accountable for their actions. This is something many theologians wrestle over for their whole lives so I don't think I can ease the tension of God's sovereignty and human responsibility in a UA-cam comment. However I think this pastor's characterization of God as "sitting on his hands" is terrifying and a misunderstanding of basic theology.

For the codependent feeling needed and important is vital, so much so that picks people that may “need” him or her. So, the thing in a relationship where both are focused on fulfilling their childhood wound is that then they are not really in a building a healthy relationship, lol where both individuals grow, they are using the relationship to feed in their own ego.

      No, you're muddling two things. A co-narcissist is a collapsed narcissist who gains their supply through reflection from their narcissist. This is an extreme codependent relationship. There are many other codependents who aren't co-narcissists. Covert narcissists are full narcissists who hide their narcissism and gain supply through covert means and usually by manipulation and ruling from the bottom (narcissism is the belief you're unique/special not better)

Also a lot of co-narcs can't help but be jealous and Narcs will play on that and trigger those feelings of insecurity on purpose...plus the Narc is usually surrounded by flying monkeys while the co Narc has been left isolated in shame, abandonment and confusion!

      Consider reading the abridged Gulag Archipelago. Solzhenitsyn masterfully describes our battle between choosing good or evil and how some people choose evil so often, they can no longer return to the good. Their ideology is screwed up and they believe that their evil is good.

    As I had two narcissist parents, so no wonder I am so messed up. As I am now approaching 60 years old, its to late to do anything about it, nice to have an understanding of what makes me the person I am though.

      This is so sad, I don’t know what you’ve been through exactly but it’s NEVER too late. God can heal you if you ask Him!! He is so faithful even though we are all messed up in some ways. That’s why we have and need a Savior! Cling to Jesus, no matter how old you are!

    They have false humility.
    They talk down to people
    They're the expert on EVERYTHING
    They start devaluing slowly, a small comment about you, your friends and family.
    They think you can never replace them even tho they're losers
    YOUR THE PROBLEM
    ITS YOUR FAULT

    Very informative. Great speaker and messenger on most topics around actual holistic well being and overcoming trauma big T and little t. However, very unhelpful contributing towards most people now believing. they are NPD. Most people have wounds, most people have N traits, tbi, does not make them a NPD. One example a neuron diverse person may have special interest, in that topic they are an expert, however most ppl don't share their interest. They might answer your questionnaire in a way that reflects they might expressing this as a trait, when in reality, they are just a human with a special interest. Every person has a specific unique experience and make up. Putting people in a box can help in some instances with symptoms, but really misses who they are and can be hurtful or make things even worse. Humility and curiosity are the two main tools to navigate the nuances presented. However, may be beneficial to avoid labels in most instances, especially those watching this particular video

    Even for me who believes in God the last part felt too abstract compared to the first part which was spot on and more practical. Unconditional Love is not complicated. It is simple. I agree however that the lack of Unconditional Love is the biggest problem to create imbalanced individuals, but we should also notice it is a rampant disease in society. If society is sick it is because individuals have become corrupted and strangers to Unconditional Love.

    When I realized that after 20 yrs together, if I stayed, I'd lose me! The best of me, would vanish.my work is of God. it's on him (husband )for his behavior. When, if, he ever wakes up, he might cry. Only if it's for himself not others.its My soul and only God can have that! So, I left, 20 some yrs ago, And I found this channel! Thanks!! Im learning too! Therapy @40 yrs and continue ing! I married a version of my biological male father.
